Wow.... interesting stuff
Thanks 772
Is this book the first by a QF pilot since "Mayday" or have there been others?
"Mayday" included a chapter on himself by the author - it was overall quite good.

Love the comments from GT
"BRILLIANT! *Reminds me of the film Apollo 13 – you knew the outcome but you were still sitting on the edge of your seat!"
"If every Australian who was about to take a flight read QF32 then Qantas would be the most profitable and successful airline in the sky!"

You guys are so precious.
You love to tell all and sundry how good QF pilots are and why you deserve your ludicrous wage by pointing to the SIN 380 incident as an example.
But when the pilot wants to do a victory lap and write a book about it you want to cut down the tall poppies and bag the guy because he doesn’t just sip his beer and say “yeah mate, no worries”.
Very Australian.
If he can make several hundred grand like sully selling a book about his exploits then he would be crazy not to.

We at QF, like everyone else in aviation just want to our job, get the plane from A to B, get paid and go home to our families. Oh and we, like hopefully everyone else like to stick by our mates.
What you are quoted as saying is purely inflammatory and just a piss pour attempt to have a swipe at a group that you probably didn't have the qualifications to become a part of.
Tall poppy syndrome unfortunately is an Australian cultural thing. RDC is not a tall poppy, and not a team player. As the snipit in The Australian proved.

Sorry sir,

Looks like we're inevitably up to that chapter titled "Who has the biggest dick/watch/wallet", where the original thread title is long since forgotten and the thread descends into an endless series of irrelevant, mundane and repetitious posts?
